Why Solana for Audit Roots
We post a fingerprint of every five actions on a public chain so nobody can quietly rewrite history, not even us. People ask why we picked the chain we picked. Here is the short answer.
What we actually need
Three things matter for a chain we use as a tamper-evident notebook.
It has to be fast. The user just tapped Approve. If the proof takes ten minutes to land, the user is gone by then.
It has to be cheap. We post a tiny fingerprint, not money. If posting costs a dollar, we cannot afford to do it for every five actions across every user.
Anyone has to be able to check it. If only we can check our own notebook, the whole point is gone.
Why Solana fits
The chain we use confirms in under half a second. Bitcoin takes an hour. Ethereum takes ten or fifteen minutes. Half a second means the user is still on the page when the proof lands.
Posting costs a fraction of a cent. We never pass that to you. Reads are free.
Anyone can look up what we posted on a public explorer. You do not have to trust us. You do not have to trust the chain we picked. You can read the same bytes we did.
What we looked at and did not pick
We looked at the Ethereum side of the world. The price math works on the newer Ethereum networks, but the wait time still adds friction the user feels.
We looked at a different kind of chain built just for storing data. That one is excellent for what it does. We did not need that much. A small bookmark on a fast cheap chain was enough.
This is not a culture statement about which chain is best. It is the chain that matched what we actually needed.
